This is very good!! I did add a tsp of vanilla for flavor, then a splash of milk and also a splash of cranberry-apple juice that I ironically had in the fridge. The dough was sticky, but it baked well. I baked for 35 minutes. And I tripled the recipe to make one loaf of bread and some trays of muffins. Can't wait to bring these to the family on Thanksgiving! Thank you for sharing!

I am sure that this recipe works for the submitter, but most of the people who rated this highly added liquid or did something not called for in the actual recipe. The taste is fine (not outrageously good, but fine), but the texture is crumbly and difficult to slice. My dog definitely would give it 5 stars, since a fair amount has ended up on the floor with two kids trying it. I think that there has to be a more flexible, easier recipe to try for the same ingredients.

I did as many of the reviewers said to add more liquid. It is still a bit crumbly but my husband said the kiddos don't get any...its all his! Great recipe!

Very tasty! The batter is thick like a cookie dough, but I wasn't scared and went ahead and followed directions. Came out wonderful! Didn't change a thing and I'm glad. I will definitely be making again One note: when I cut into it, it wasn't done. Needed more cooking time than stated.

My friend and I each made this loaf and it was really good. I actually underbaked it unfortunately, so next time I'll bake a little longer.

This is a awesome recipe. I tripled the ingredients to make three loaves at once. I used my food processor to chop the apples and it gave plenty of moisture for the batter. I would not say mine was like cookie batter as others have stated but more like a brownie batter. I also used 1/2 times more cranberries and just cut up three apples into small pieces an added it to the batter. It is WONDERFUL!!!

This was okay - the bread was moist but the cake seemed to be missing something

This bread has been quite popular! The only changes I made were to use unpeeled Red Delicious apples and I omitted the walnuts as I didn't have any. I was very impressed at how cleanly this came out of the pan, and just the general presentation of it is beautiful. The batter is extremely thick and you really do have to spread it in the pan, but the bread comes out nice and moist from the fruit. I had no issues with the moisture nor the bread falling apart.

This bread is delicious. I agree with the previous reviewers that the batter is really thick and a little tough to mix, but once it's baked it's delicious. I had a few apples that needed to be used up so I made a double batch. I took another reviewer's advice and put it all in a bundt pan. I had to bake it for close to an hour, but the results were great. I will definitely make this again.

I've made this as addition to breakfast, or as a desert. It goes over really well, and I like that I can use local ingredients for it.

By the time I had the bread mix in the oven I began to read over the reviews on this recipe and thought, "oops I should have looked a little closer". But surprisingly the bread came out GREAT! It's very similar to an all natural bread that i find in the freezer section at WholeFoods. I used a whole wheat flour and an Oster electric hand beater. No need to add additional liquid when the beater is used. Thanks All Recipes!

This is a great quick bread recipe. I leave out the nuts, increase the cranberries a little and bake it in mini loaf pans. Great grab and go breakfast bread.

This is a delicious bread. I'm not sure why others were having issues with the dryness of the batter, but I made it just fine, wasn't dry at all. I used Empire apples, maybe a sauce or pie apple is the key here. Also, following the directions exactly may also be a factor. Mix the apples, sugar, egg and oil in one bowl, then it sits while the dry ingredients are mixed. I think while the apples sit it helps with the liquid. Either way, I made it, it was delicious and will be making this again often!

I didn't find any problems with the batter. It was perfect! I used 2 ripe bananas instead of the oil which might have helped with the moistness of the batter. I made this as a quick breakfast for my household and everyone loved it! It was gone by the next morning!

I double all of my recipes and I have found that if the batter seems too stiff I add a couple more eggs. This is what I did with this recipe and it came out beautiful. Another plus to this recipe is that it only takes a scant half four to bake! It is a eco friendly recipe. My family loved it as I am sure yours will too. Also If you use graham flour or whole wheat flour sometimes your recipe will be crumbly and dry. So maybe you should use white or add an egg or two like me.

I agree w/other reviewers - quite dry and crumbly at first. I soaked the apples and cranberries in 1/3 c. apple cider and when I added it to the mix, crumbs became batter. Very very fruit-laden batter. Also, baked for about 50 minutes.

I used a lot of information from earlier reviews...such as waiting to mix the apples with the dry ingredients so they'd give up some of their juices, except I didn't wait 15 minutes, it was more like 5. This has a really good flavor. I'm glad I chopped the apples up pretty small or I think it would have been harder to cut. I added a touch of salt like someone else suggested but that might make it brown too quickly on the outside because that appeared to be a problem. This is definately better than fruit cake. It would be perfect if it stayed together better.
